Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
If you have fortified casting and use your CAM as your PAM, you have CON as your PAM. Not a big deal, since the blacksmith does this by default. When going the other direction, we did not have archetypes use their PAM as their CAM since that would open up CON-based casting without the fortified casting boon, which we chose to avoid. If you get a casting tradition, Fortified casting overwrites your default CAM, so a conscript could have CON based casting with the right tradition.
I believe so, though the text in the CRB muddies the waters a bit given the way its written, since it says 'fighting defensively as a standard action'. Not sure if there have been updates or clarifications to that, but for the purposes of SoM, yes, you are intended to be able to fight defensively with an attack action.
Neither spells nor sphere abilities are spell-like or supernatural (as required by conductive), so conductive doesn't help a magus or a prodigy.Last edited by stack; 2017-10-31 at 08:54 AM.

Did you take down the playtest for CotS? I've been told I'm not allowed to access the document as it violates the Terms of Service

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
I'm not even sure how something gets flagged as 'inappropriate', but apparently someone did that to our google doc. I still have access to it including all the comments, but i am not allowed to share it until the the company can review the claim, which they say could take several days.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
According to a comment on the DDS forum, it is intended that spheres with an associated skill can use that skill instead of BAB. Obviously it hasn't been included.
BTW, please check if all usages of special sphere abilities like "challenge" are italicized. I noticed at least one instance, where it wasn't like this.Avatar made by Mehangel - "Neigh?"

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
Does the Armor Training combat specialization allow the "move at normal speed in medium armor' bit at level 1? it seems like the rest of the specialization is level locked, but as someone who is dipping Consript solely to get Gear Training, I want to know if I will get any benefit for taking armor training.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
Troop Volley wouldn't work that way. Troop Volley requires the Commander to spend an attack action and each other creature to spend an immediate action, which limits how much you can get out of someone via a Commander.
So basically, you can benefit from multiple tactics and shouts, but they all have their own non-stacking bonus types or specific action requirements so the ability to actually stack them up is limited by the natural restrictions of the system.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
I wouldn't have allowed that at my table.
Feint Strike allows an attack as a Swift action -OR- as an attack of opportunity (if you expend focus). It never says you can do both a Swift action and then expend your focus for another attack as an attack of opportunity.
The rest of the combo stands, and being able to close the distance on a target, achieve a feint, and deal two attacks, possibly retaining your Swift action in the process...
That's a strong combination, as it sits.
*Edit*
Re-reading your post... you said four attacks, as the attack action.
You could get the four attacks.
Two of those would be from the aforementioned Feint combination.
And then two of those from the attack action.
So yes, four attacks...
Pretty nice option.Last edited by Ualaa; 2017-10-31 at 03:08 PM.

Then he used Feint Strike (AoO, expend 2nd focus) to get an AoO and Dual Opportunity to also attack with off-hand weapon. Next Focusing Feint (Swift Action) regained the 2nd focus. Finally the Attack Action allowed both main-hand and off-hand attacks for a total of 4 attacks. With Sneak Attack and Sphere Specialization [Dual Wielding] this became 4 attacks at full bab with a fair amount of extra d6. My main point is that there is plenty of synergy between the extra attacks granted by Dual Wielding, the Fencing Sphere's ability to generate opportunity attacks, and any source of extra damage you can leverage.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
I've read that there's a bug going around wherein users are locked out of their own, seemingly harmless files, because of an AI scanning the documents and flagging it as "abusive". Most of it has to do with reporters getting their stories locked while they're working on them. This is the first time I've seen it happen with something as harmless as a playtest for a 3pp book for Pathfinder, though.
Spoiler: The real reasonMaybe the Magus archetype was so controversial Google had to step in and lock the document, perhaps?

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
The Duelist sphere's bleeding states that "this stacks with any other bleed damage you are capable of dealing". Is this only referring to additional bleed damage that attack may have from other sources, or is it saying that the bleed from two separate attacks that benefit from Duelist's bleed stack (letting you bleed an enemy more and more as the fight goes on)?

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
So it’s probably a bit early for this, but I noticed notes on the wiki for using SoM in Starfinder and was wondering if anyone has tried running Spheres Starfinder yet. If so, how’s it been working out? I don’t think my group could go back to Vancian now so we’ll at least be using SoP if/when we try the system.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
How come Slickened Grip works off of the total bleed damage the target is suffering from, instead of the bleed damage amount for the attack it is applying to? If you have some source of stackable bleed damage on attacks, you can use whatever (bleed) talent you want (Iai Slash is pretty good for this combo) for most of your attacks and then use Slickened Grip on the last one to apply a massive CMD penalty to the enemy. Use a Brute combat maneuver with the Hammer talent and smash them ridiculously hard as followup if you wish.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
Specialized Venom
You select 1 creature type (or subtype) from the ranger favored enemy list; your poisons may affect creatures of that type even if they would normally be immune to poison (or ignore any racial bonuses they may possess to saving throws against poison). For every 4 ranks in Craft (alchemy) you possess, you may select another creature type (or subtype).Last edited by legomaster00156; 2017-11-01 at 01:29 PM.

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
I'm trying to figure out something here.
Mortal Chemist gets the Packages of Formula and Poison, but do they actually gain the Alchemy Sphere? And for that matter, does this do anything for them or do they have to wait or spend a feat to pick up a talent that actually does something with Formula and Poison?

Re: [Drop Dead Studios] Spheres of Might Open Playtest
Ah. I totally missed the little bit of what the packages actually do. Okay, One other thing with it, does the Brew Potion thing it has allow you to make potions past level 3 or is it still stuck in the rules of Brew potion?
